Disclaimer - I am not offering cupcakes for all!

Good morning Community!  Welcome to Friday!

I've been involved in Friday Fun for a while now - trying to comment regularly and it's great learning all of these strange and unusual facts about fellow Community members.  

When I was asked to do my own post, I thought about what I wanted to know about everyone...and I immediately thought of cake!!

I love cake!  Almost any kind...apart from coconut.  I'd love to be skilled enough to bake, but I'll settle for just eating instead.

My all time favourite cake though is coffee and walnut cake.

It has everything I'm looking for - it's sweet, but not too sweet, it has a delicious crunch, it has coffee, and it has a soft frosting.  Runner up cakes include carrot, black forest gateau and the humble Victoria sponge.

So my question to you all is: what's your favourite cake, and why?  Bonus points for pictures, especially if they're homemade

Caaaake!

This pretty much sums up on how I feel about cake..

image.png

I don't think I really have a favorite cake, as long as it's not too dry I'm happy with it.

Not a big coconut fan either.. oh and those sugar pastes that they use to decorate cakes should just be banned.

I do like to bake/cook so here are few of my latest creations.

A lovely applie pie and a cheesecake "flan".

Altho I like cake, my physique thanks me when I don't over-induldge in it so i've been exploring other ways of making cakes. Besides using artificial sweetener I discovered a neat little trick of use white beans, yes .. beans..  to create a nice dough.

You might not think it works but it actually tastes great and it avoids all the sugar and butter :) The apple pie -one actually is made with beans!

If I really need to choose a favorite.. I'd say simple but moist apple pie/cake would take the lead.

My favorite is Beet and Carrot cake because it isn't too sweet, it is spongy, it doesn't taste carrot and there is a little something from the beet. You can add nuts if you like and also the same frosting that is used for carrot cake. Miam!!

I'm savory over sweet, so my favorite cakes are probably meat loaf cupcakes topped with mashed potato "icing" 😜

But if I had to go for an actual cake, it's a tie between carrot cake or ice cream cake! Hmm, is ice cream cake cake?

I am not a big cake person, though I love sweets. The cake needs to be moist or at least not dry. Cookies are my go to, and more chewy than crisp is the preference. Again with the dry thing. 

I like that while in Bolivia they used two different words for dry (an no icing) and moist (with icing - and often had fruit on top). They used queque for the first and torta for the second. If you heard the word, you knew which one you were getting. Although the tortas there were usually VERY moist.

In Costa Rica they also call it queque. When we visited from PR the tour guide warned us to call it queque instead of bizcocho, which is what we call it in PR, because bizcocho is a vulgar term in Costa Rica.

2 banana's, 120g almond flour, 3 eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, pinch of salt (tablespoon of coconut fat if you want) and that's it!

You can add some chocolate and/or raisins to taste.

40min later (oven at 180 C) you have a great banana bread!

I'm not a huge fan of the fondant icing, but I don't mind the cream cheese style you get on a carrot cake. I've never toasted cake before, but I'm not certain what pound cake is either so it might work well

Same here - the occasional top-quality Italian or French buttercream is acceptable, but generally I prefer my cake without icing. When our family is able to be together, my uncle and I have the same ingredient-splitting arrangement you and your SIL do 😅

I've also done the toasted pound cake, although I do jelly on mine. @Liam Green pound cake is a very dense, butter-heavy cake usually made in a loaf or bundt pan. It generally doesn't have icing, per se, although some people do a light glaze, or serve with whipped cream and fruit. Apocryphal tales say it got its name because the original recipe was a pound of butter, pound of flour, pound of eggs, and pound of sugar. I haven't tried baking it myself, but from what I've seen a lot of modern recipes use sour cream or cream cheese.

@Liam Green yes, I definitely meant the American definition of jelly! 

I was lucky enough to visit Ireland last summer, and a friend from Dublin gave me an informal translation table of Irish English to American English. There was one particular phrase that I would have used a lot as a traveler, and while completely innocuous in American English, is apparently rather filthy in Irish English. 😂

Yum... cupcakes. 

So I'm not actually a huge cake fan. My mom was a pro-level baker and I think I got tired of cake as a kid. I do enjoy an occasional cupcake from my local bakery, which uses real Italian buttercream icing.

As to cake-cakes, my two favorites and pretty simple, and both are citrus-based.

The clementine cake from Smitten Kitchen is divine, plus gluten-free if that's your thing.

And Nigella Lawson's madeira cake is amazing. I've made the lemon-poppyseed variant, and have also made it with oranges in place of lemons.

(Also, I love coconut, but not in cakes. My absolute favorite once a year dessert is the amazing coconut cream pie at a local restaurant. It's about 6 inches tall, and has tons of actual coconut in it; it's not just a glob of pudding with coconut flavoring.)

It is amazingly good. And really easy to make. It's more like what we'd consider a quick bread in the U.S. (like banana bread) rather than a true "cake", so I don't feel guilty having a slice for breakfast. My favorite variation is using oranges, and throwing in some candied orange rind for a bit of texture. So good. Now I really want some; maybe I'll make one while I'm "on vacation" this week.

I love cakes... yes, I have to admit that. ☺️
Couldn‘t decide which one is my favourite, perhaps blueberry crumble, a classic strawberry cake (without whipped cream) or anything with chocolate. ☺️ 

The good thing is: a small village backery that is making everything by themselves is just in the middle of my running route, so I could (and often do) have fresh bread, bread rolls and cakes. ☺️

My favorite cake is "bizcocho de novia" from Puerto Rico, it is a dense cake soaked with simple syrup, rum or brandy and a buttercream icing. But where I am right now, I settle for raspberry elegance, or just about any cake from Publix supermarket, anyone that lives or has lived in FL knows what I'm talking about.

Anyone has tried this? Layers of graham cookies and date puree. With icing for those who can't live without it!

Eat it right away if you're unable to wait otherwise let the puree smooth the cookies.

You can do 1x1 for individual portions or 4x4 for a family with any number of layers.
